To this end, it combines the practical experience of supervisors with the theoretical knowledge of academic research.
In addition to BaFin, the Deutsche Bundesbank and the central banks of Luxembourg, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and the Netherlands are members of ESE.
ESE regularly organises more than 20 seminars a year, covering topics such as Supervisory Colleges, supervision of rating agencies, the requirements of Basel III and risk models in banks. Furthermore, ESE holds a biennial conference with high-level representatives of supervisory authorities and national banks as well as experts from academia and industry.
